From the bright pink gown to the 1am McDonald’s delivery, agent Olive Uniacke’s wedding was anything but traditional.
Olive’s one of a kind wedding gown was designed and made by a London-based couturier. Inspired by a Raf Simons for Dior dress once worn by Marion Cotillard, the bride wanted it realised in a punchy pink. “I just wanted it to feel true to me,” Olive says of her unexpected choice. “I loved this idea that everyone would show up in bright colours, including me.”
Though her bridal vision was clear, the process of making Olive’s dream dress was not entirely smooth. When the fabric arrived in London six weeks before the wedding, it was faulty. Not only that, it couldn’t be replaced – Valentino’s Pierpaolo Piccioli had used the last of the desired shade in his autumn/winter 2022 collection, the bride says. Olive eventually settled on a lighter shade – though she held onto the Prada shoes she’d colour-matched to the original.
The celebrations saw margaritas and martinis served on arrival, while Barrafina whipped up ham and cheese croquetas, giant dishes of paella and BBQ grilled vegetables, all served in the garden and courtyard. Again parting with convention, Olive and Dane briefly snuck off to their room to recharge and eat in bed. “It was our only moment of calm,” says the bride, laughing.
Sets from many DJs including Joe Goddard and Sophie Crystal kept guests on the dance floor into the early hours, with a spread that included Colin the Caterpillar cakes, home-baked lemon tarts, Victoria sponges, and the River Café’s iconic chocolate nemesis cake at hand for anyone in need of an energy boost. Flagging guests also fell upon a 1am delivery of McDonald’s cheeseburgers and fries. “We pulled the plug at 5am, took a last-man standing photo and dragged our friends out the door.
